I'm pressing a lot of mine open to avoid big lumps. I always do this on anything that is angled because I know that probably both ends of the angle will be sewn into other seams; this makes for too much bulk, which is especially obvious in such small blocks. It would be so much easier if I could just press them all to one side, though, and I do that ... to the darkest side ... wherever I can do so without "bulking" up the block.

I agree with weezie! That's just what I'm doing as well...some of these littlbe buggers just have to be pressed open!
